Ford addresses misconceptions about bisexuality with grace and patience in this beautiful essay. "The fact that the boundaries of my sexual attraction are more expansive than yours doesn’t mean that you have to keep one eye on my genitals and the other on the door."

Calliope Torres from Grey's Anatomy, ABC, her character is a badass doctor who's confident in her intellectual abilities and in her sexuality/body. She cares deeply for her work and for those around her, plus she's super fun and doesn't take any crap.

Far more than just Marko's ex-fiancée, Gwendolyn is a spell-casting badass. Her relationship with Sophie and Lying Cat—not to mention her ability to throw a well-timed punch—make her an unforgettable addition to Saga's cast of lively characters.

I love the fluidity portrayed by their relationship.

It’s a thinly veiled existential novel about the affair between de Beauvoir, Sartre, and their students Olga and Wanda Kosakiewicz. What's not to love?

One thing I also like about the 100 is that Clarke's sexuality isn't a discussion point. She just has sex with men and women throughout the story and it's never something that's surprising people (even people who don't know her) or something to comment on. I also don't think that's exactly what the book is like, so that says something about the CW's commitment (if only for publicity purposes, admittedly) to doing better with representation. Lexa is killed though, so there's that.

Ethan Chandler is a brooding bisexual werewolf who must choose between redemption and destroying the world—no pressure there. As much of a ridiculous problem Penny Dreadful becomes after the first season, I love that Ethan’s sexuality is one of the few things that doesn’t keep him up at night.

Kalinda's an incredibly nuanced character, a great combination of smart, loyal, and a little reckless. Her sexuality didn't feel played up for publicity on the show. She isn't forced to explain it or dissect for the audience, she also isn't forced to "choose."

Columbia, MO Yellow Dog is right in the middle of downtown Columbia, and have some of the cutest window displays throughout the year! More than that, they sell every type of book you could ever want or need: old paperbacks, local authors, new hardbacks. If you want, they have it somewhere.

I was only in Minneapolis for a freezing 24 hours, but my visit to Milkweed was a highlight: friendly staff, lots of local literary folk hanging out, & beautiful space and displays. (Milkweed is located in Open Book, a seriously f@#king cool literary arts center downtown.) Plus, great bookseller recommendations! (Thanks Celia!) Last bookstore purchase: The Doll's Alphabet by Camilla Grudova

Philadelphia, PA Housed in a Victorian home, it's a beautiful and cozy place to browse new and used books!

Brunswick, ME Gulf of Maine Books is one of the best places on earth. They have a great selection of new and classic titles, plus some very witty radical bumperstickers. I always hope I'll bump into Brunswick local Elizabeth Strout when I'm in there. I haven't, yet. Last store purchase: Love by Toni Morrison

Cambridge, MA Harvard Book Store is always the (often unconscious) destination of my walks around Harvard Square in Cambridge. Don't be fooled by the "Harvard" in its name; open since 1932, this bookstore's used book section is incredible - not to mention going down the stairs to the basement to find it gives you that magical-book-loving-coffee-drinking-blissful-intellectual feel. It sells cheap books on the corner and new books upstairs. Last store purchase: Dostoevsky's Notes from the Underground (subsequently read by the Tanner Fountain on Harvard's campus)

Minneapolis, MN Owner Collette once described herself as a "curator of delight". There is nothing that encapsulates what she's done with Wild Rumpus better. Walking into the store—whether by the adult door or the smaller child's door—brings to life the magical wonder and infinite possibility of books, especially for a young reader. Last store purchase: The Name of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and The Mudstone Trilogy: A Novel by Mal Peet

"I thank Anita Hill for speaking up and giving me something to name, something I've experienced many times. It makes me so sad that so much of what I said on the 20th anniversary of Anita Hill is still true today."

The Egypt Game (Atheneum Books for Young Readers) by Zilpha Keatlley Snyder, illustrated by Alton Raible "Two young girls discover a shared interest in ancient Egypt, and set about creating a mystical world and a chosen family of neighborhood children. As an only child, I dreamed of a way to find siblings as well as a feeling of belonging—exactly what April Hall manages to do by the end of this book."

Little Women (originally published by Roberts Brothers) by Louisa May Alcott "This book taught me that there are countless different ways to have and be a family—that families can be non-nuclear, they can be run by women or weird tutors, you can decide what kind of family you want to build when you grow older, you can reject the obvious choice for love and pursue something else, you can stray from what you grew up with, and that you can remain close to where you come from. Big bonus for the queer kids in the room is that Jo is, like, totally trans."

Weird Parents (Penguin) by Audrey Wood "When I was little, I used to be mortified by the strange quirks that both my parents possessed. This book made me realize that though my parents were a tad odd (and still are...very much so...), I was raised in a house of love and am blessed because of it."

A Chair for My Mother (Greenwillow Books) by Vera Williams "It's about a young girl, her mother, and grandmother who have lost everything in a fire. The mother has to work a lot and is always really tired so the family saves up money to buy her a chair that she can sit down in when she comes home. It taught me about close women in families and how families need to work together to overcome a disaster/hardship and about appreciating and valuing what family means."

A Baby Sister For Frances (HarperCollins) by Russell Hoban, illustrated by Lillian Hoban "Familial love isn't a finite resource and a new sibling, however annoying and smelly, can never replace the unique you."

Death Is Stupid (Feminist Press), by Anastasia Higginbotham "Anastasia's book, with its lush collages and poignant story, showed me how important it is to be honest to family members of all ages about the toughest, and often scariest, moments in our lives."

Honey, I Love (HarperCollins Children's Books) by Eloise Greenfield, illustrated by Jan Spivey Gilchrist "My mom used to read me this all the time when I was a kid. Besides being about a sassy little black girl (which I kind of was), it taught me that family and the love you have for them is often in the little things like the sound of their voice or the feel of their hands."

To Hell With Dying (Harcourt Children's Books) by Alice Walker, illustrated by Catherine Deeter "My mother gave me this book when I was eight or nine years old to teach me about the complexities of life, chosen family, end of life transitions, and respecting our elders and their wisdom."

The Runaway Bunny (Harper) by Margaret Wise Brown "I love this book (and its dazzling illustrations) for the way it explores the push and pull of family love. When I was a child, it taught me that, though sometimes you want to run from your family and resist your bond to them, the ones who love you most will always adapt to accommodate you as you grow."

by Jeffrey Eugenides (Picador) A richly detailed story that follows the life of an intersex man and three generations of his Greek-American family.

by Bette Bao Lord (HarperCollins) A hilarious and timeless story about an immigrant girl inspired by the sport she loves to find her own team, and break down any barriers that stand in her way.

by Samuel Selvon (St. Martin's Press) This book follows the lives of several young men from the West Indies, namely Moses Aloetta, as they navigate 1950s Britain. It's a book about the alienation and loneliness that can come with immigration, but it's also about old communities in new lands, comradery and the power of laughter.

by Jhumpa Lahiri (Alfred A Knopf) Crossing oceans and cultures from Calcutta to America, this is a dazzling tale of two brothers bound by tragedy, a fiercely brilliant woman haunted by her past, a country torn apart by revolution, and a love that lasts long past death.

by Hanif Kureishi (Faber and Faber) A coming-of-age novel set in 1970s suburban London, The Buddha of Suburbia follows teenager Karim as he explores his sexuality, navigates class relations in the Thatcher era and finds his place in the underground punk music scene.

by Yongsoo Park (Akashic Books) I'm ashamed to admit that before reading Boy Genius, I had internalized the idea that Asian American books were all sober tales of intergenerational conflict, dealing with first generation parents as a second generation child. But Boy Genius completely shattered that idea—this is a hilarious, surreal, coming-of-age odyssey. It's a book that refuses to compromise its identity, but also helps itself to the messy richness of twentieth-century cultural history.

by Yaa Gyasi (Penguin Random House) Spanning seven generations and three continents, Homegoing follows the lives of two sisters, Effia and Esi, and how their different destinies affect their descendants.

by Francisco Cantú (Riverhead Books) As an offspring of immigrant parents, Cantú provides a dual perspective of the United States/Mexico border dispute and leaves no truth uncharted in his memoir about the border wars affecting immigrants.

by Edwidge Danticat (Soho Press) At the age of twelve, Sophie Caco is sent from her impoverished Haitian village to New York to be reunited with a mother she barely remembers. There she discovers secrets that no child should ever know, and a legacy of shame that can be healed only when she returns to Haiti—to the women who first reared her. What ensues is a passionate journey through a landscape charged with the supernatural and scarred by political violence.

by Rabih Alameddine (W. W. Norton & Company) I, the Divine is a fragmented story of Sarah Nour El-Din, a woman seeking to create space for herself amongst conflict: civil war, family upheaval, divorce, and infidelity. The novel is told entirely through Sarah's attempts at a first chapter of an autobiographical novel/memoir. Each chapter reveals a different vignette—some delivered drunk, entirely in French, or scrapped mid-sentence—that come together to shape a portrait of her life between the United States and Lebanon.

by Sofia Samatar (Small Beer Press) This novel musters all the imaginative force of the fantasy genre to explore migration (geographic and cultural) under the sway of empire. It's a beautifully written speculation on how different cultures encounter, absorb, and clash with one another.

Feminist Press "I love a good short story collection! Can't wait for the world to get their hands on Rodriguez's debut!" —Luriel

Riverhead Books "I've been a fan of R. O. Kwon's writing about literature and book culture for a while now, so it's super exciting to soon be able to read her debut novel, The Incendiaries. It's a love story between Phoebe, a Korean American woman who attends an elite American university and gets pulled into a cult with ties to North Korea, and Will, a fellow student who struggles against fundamentalism and dedicates himself to finding Phoebe when she disappears. Sounds like a page-turner!" —Sophia O.

Knopf Publishing Group "There's been so much positive buzz about this book—I can't wait to get my hands on it! And I love the cover." —Suki

Riverhead Books "I've always been vaguely afraid of the state of Florida, where many of my family members somehow coexist with alligators, and I love creepy tales of collision between human and nonhuman worlds, so I have high hopes for this one." —Sophia M.

Arsenal Pulp Press "An excitingly queer story of a young woman returning home and coping with a complex mother-daughter relationship while also being trapped in the buzz, hum, and sweat of summer. There are also the elements of a ghost haunting and a now-abandoned amusement park that moves the book into fascinating supernatural territories." —Mya

Amistad "As FP is gearing up for our fiftieth anniversary, I've been thinking a lot about legacy and how the past informs the present and the future. I'm inspired by the trails Hurston blazed for next-generation writers of color and beyond." —Jamia

Soho Press / Soho Crime "I've enjoyed all of Soho Press's Japanese crime/mystery titles, but this book seems truly nuts. It's impossible to not want to read this when looking at the rave reviews." —Jisu

Lady Gaga expanded her dramatic and infectious brand of pop music with the 2009 reissue The Fame Monster, adding eight new songs to the instant classics of her debut album, The Fame. We said hello again to "Paparazzi," a troubling tribute to the darkness of celebrity, and made fast friends with the glamorous "Bad Romance" and the Beyoncé-assisted "Telephone." The Fame Monster holds a lot of nostalgia for me; listening to it instantly takes me back to memories of preteen me clearing the living room of furniture and choreographing dance routines with my cousins.

Who doesn't want to have the best of both worlds? I'm picking Hannah Montana both for nostalgic reasons and because it gives the viewer the power to believe that you could be a "normal" girl and still have a fabulous and famous career. It's probably the guiltiest of guilty pleasures, but it sure is fun.

The Cheetah Girls are spicier than hot sauce and as cool as iced cappuccino. They outshine any diamond with their supa-dupa inner sparkle! Galleria, Chanel, Dorinda, Anginette, and Aquanette star in this Cheetah-licious tale about girls having guts, brains, courage, and friends (while flashin' some style and always shining from the heart). Thanks to The Cheetah Girls for teaching me the best insult ever—"You're a burp!... Boougie, undone, ridiculoso, and princess-y to the max. Don't deny it."

Boogie Nights is set in LA's San Fernando Valley and focuses on a young nightclub dishwasher who becomes a popular porn star, chronicling his rise in the Golden Age of Porn of the 1970s through to his fall during the excesses of the 1980s. It's a classic. See Mark Wahlberg actually express emotion!

This novel details the intersecting stories of three women, Neely O'Hara, Jennifer North, and Anne Welles, who strive for success and fame in New York City while navigating relationships and friendships in the cruel worlds of Hollywood and Broadway. A cautionary tale for anyone who has dreams of seeing their face on billboards or movie posters one day. This novel was like binge-eating a box of chocolates—you never know what you're going to get and you'll inevitably feel sick at the end, but you can't put it down.

I just finished reading Susan Bordo's The Creation of Anne Boleyn. Bordo explores the sources and implications of Anne Boleyn's afterlife as the most famous of Henry VIII's six wives, and how people have reimagined her as a martyr, a mean girl, a literal witch, an intellectual, and—most recently—a feminist icon who was born before her time. I'm fascinated by how Anne, and other famously "bad women," must transform over and over to meet our shifting expectations and desires. Not unlike Pauline!

After months of searching, I ordered a tattered copy of this out-of-print biography documenting the late actor Jean Seberg's childhood, her lightning-bolt ascension to stardom, her activism, and her sudden decline and death following vicious attacks by the FBI’s counterintelligence program at the time, COINTELPRO. Seberg was an unfortunate example of the paradox of fame, which can uplift and empower people it eventually destroys. Jean Seberg was a rebel with a cause in a world that wasn’t ready for her yet, and it saddens me that someone so eager and compassionate and smart and honest met so much resistance. Her biography suggests that she returned to poetry, a childhood hobby, writing verse on the corners of newspaper during dark times. This one in particular cuts deeply: I run too fast, I fly too high I hit so hard Too wide my eye Too full my heart Too deep my pain So short the kiss

A classic of the Hollywood-films-about-Hollywood genre, Singin' in the Rain is, among other things, about silent film superstars struggling to stay relevant when talking pictures become the next big thing. A parable about the precarity of fame in the ever-changing landscape of new media. I've watched this approximately 1,000 times since childhood. There's so much to love: outrageous costumes, frolicking choreography, two pivotal moments involving women making inappropriate use of dessert items, and GENE KELLY.

The world's most boring reality television show is from South Korea, featuring celebrity "homebodies" who hang out for a weekend in various houses around the country. I suppose the underlying premise is that their fame is at odds with their personalities. About 99.5% of it is absolutely nothing happening, and everyone is incredibly awkward (supposedly because they're "homebodies")—but I find this particular type of boring to be both soothing and charming. It's also great to turn on if you're having trouble falling asleep.

by Alice Walker (Harcourt) Despite winning the National Book Award for Fiction and Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1983, making Alice Walker the first Black woman to win the prize, the book is not without controversy. It is 17th on the American Library Association's list of most frequently challenged or banned books for its “racism,” sexual explicitness, explicit language, violence, and homosexuality. Honestly, what's more controversial than Black women loving Black women?

by Radclyffe Hall (Jonathan Cape) Published in 1928, The Well of Loneliness incited public outcry for its depiction of lesbian romance and the social rejection and isolation lesbian women face in society. Upon its release, it was ruled obscene by a British court and was the target of an angry crusade by James Douglas of the Sunday Express who famously said he'd rather feed a child acid than have them read Radclyffe Hall's book. The Well of Loneliness has since become canonical in gay and lesbian literature, and continues to inspire heated debate and discussion among queer scholars and literary critics alike.

by Violette Leduc (Feminist Press) First written in 1955 as part of a larger work, Thérèse and Isabelle was repeatedly rejected by French publishers due to its erotic lesbian content. While a censored version of the schoolgirl romance was eventually published in 1966 and translated into English, it took until the year 2000 for the fully unabridged text to be published in France, 2012 for the updated English translation.

by Han Kang (Hogarth Press) Published in Korea in 2007, The Vegetarian tells the story of a woman who decides to stop eating meat and the consequences it has on her husband, family, and herself. The book was controversial due to its intense, explicit descriptions of the violence that comes when women go against what society deems acceptable.

by Bei Tong (Feminist Press) Between its gratuitous sex scenes and frank depictions of economic and state corruption, Beijing Comrades elicited outrage when it was first published online. It was never published in mainland China, and only a heavily censored version was available in Taiwan.

by Louise Fitzhugh (Harper & Row) Harriet has been banned from schools and libraries because it apparently sets a bad example for children by encouraging them to "lie, spy, back-talk and curse." Harriet's high-top sneakers and status as an outsider have also long resonated with the queer community.

by Kate Chopin (Herbert S. Stone & Co.) Published in 1899, Chopin's novel was considered immoral for its frank depictions of female sexual desire and rejection of societal norms. In one particularly harsh review, The Nation wrote "we need not have been put to the unpleasantness of reading about her."

by Sappho, translated by Anne Carson (Penguin) For centuries, scholars have been arguing over the painfully few extant fragments of Sappho's poetry. Do the writings of this famous daughter of Lesbos express queer desire between women, or were Sappho and her comrades just *really* good friends? The history of this controversy, fueled by massive gaps in the surviving knowledge of her life and work, is a fascinating reflection of the cultural norms and literary values of any given era.

by Gloria Anzaldúa (Aunt Lute Books) This collection of essays and poetry was part of a Tucson Mexican-American Studies curriculum prohibited in 2010 when Arizona passed HB 2281, a bill restricting classes that “are designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group,” or “advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils.” HB 2281 was blocked in 2017 by Judge A. Wallace Tashima, who found the ruling discriminatory and unconstitutional.

What: This PBS mystery series features a group of Brooklyn middle-schoolers who solve neighborhood crimes with the help of an invisible, highly literate ghost who communicates by manipulating printed text. Why: At the time it aired (1992-1995), I loved this good-hearted show because its heroes were young nerds like myself. Looking back, I also appreciate the race and gender diversity of the cast and the repeated lessons, however clunky, about the power of collaboration and the importance of print media. Ghostwriter taught me to always head to the dictionary if I encounter an unfamiliar word—a crucial life lesson that's served me well!

What: Written and directed by Leslie Harris, Just Another Girl on the IRT is a poignant depiction of one feisty, fun loving, college bound, 'round the way, 17-year-old girl, Chantel Mitchell (Ariyan A. Johnson) who seems to know it all, until she finds herself pregnant. Why: The Hood Film genre that emerged in the 90s was widely praised for its raw depictions of Black and brown men's experiences in urban settings. Just Another Girl was the first (of very few) to add to the genre, but from a Black feminine lens, an often overlooked and forgotten narrative. Chantel Mitchell is the OG Carefree Black Girl, even with the weight of the world on her shoulders.

What: Winnie Holzman's drama about high-school life, told mainly by 15-year-old Angela Chase (Claire Danes), is FULL. OF. TEEN. ANGST. While it was canceled after one season, there are nineteen great episodes about Angela dealing with the classic teen struggles: highs and lows with friends, weird parents, the stress of school, and being in love with an illiterate hottie. Why: Instead of having an after-school special vibe, My So-Called Life addressed big issues in a serialized way. I also love how the "adults' and teens often faced similar issues with similar results, showing young viewers that no one really has their stuff together. Where's the reboot Netflix?

Who: Willow Rosenberg, the smartypants of the Scooby Gang on Buffy. We all know that Buffy is smart and strong, but Willow was an absolute necessity to Buffy's growth as the Slayer and the destruction of evil demons and baddies in Sunnydale. As we learned more about the Hellmouth and the various demon dimensions with the monster-of-the-week format, Willow learned more about magic and herself. Why: Willow's journey from meek geek to all-powerful witch was a hugely powerful metaphor on the show. Willow begins to understand herself more when she starts experimenting with magic, akin to accessing her inner power. Her sexuality is also tied up with the deep magics and wiccan rituals. Here's hoping the reboot brings us a nerd character as hilarious and empowering as Willow.

What: A group of high school seniors grapple with the heart-wrenching discovery that their friend Nikki committed suicide after being sexually assaulted. After confronting invisibility and gaslighting in a sexist community, they decide to chase justice on their own terms. Why: I watched Girls Town on repeat in the aftermath of the Kavanaugh hearings to remind me about the power of friendship and solidarity in the face of adversity.

What: Classic Tim Burton film featuring Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp, Edward Scissorhands is a dark romantic comedy about a synthetic young man who, as a result of his inventor's untimely death, has shears instead of hands. Why: The movie is timeless in its portrayal of a gentle-souled outsider who sparks fear and violence simply for being different. And who doesn't love a misunderstood hero?

What: Moesha Mitchell lives with her family in a neighborhood outside of Los Angeles, California. Created by Ralph Farquhar, this show addressed teen pregnancy, drug use, race relations, the death of a parent and the day-to-day issues teenagers face at home and in school. Why: Moesha was an honest and authentically 90s portrayal of being a Black girl that was not grounded and based off stereotypes. I loved how it captured and showed the angst of being a young Black girl in a suburban community; it was the first show of its kind that I watched to do that.

What: "Who killed Laura Palmer?" was the question at the center of Twin Peaks, a murder mystery cult classic about the eerie secrets hidden within a sleepy town in the Pacific Northwest. Cancelled after only two seasons (but revived recently for a limited run in 2017!), the show is known as one of TV's all-time greatest, and features an unforgettable cast of quirky, eccentric characters. Why: Twin Peaks was a staple of early 90s popular culture, and set the tone for many atmospheric mysteries to follow (think Top of the Lake, The Killing, and even Riverdale). At the heart of the show is the unforgettable group of teenagers who find friendship, romance, and rivalry after the death of their classmate, Laura Palmer, and discover complex and varied ways to deal with their grief, fear, and anguish.

What: Natasha Lyonne stars in this cult classic as a a high school cheerleader sent to an inpatient conversation therapy center to “cure her of her lesbianism.” A campy rom-com with an over-the-top, satirical depiction of the horrors of gay conversion therapy. Why: What's not to love: RuPaul as a dubiously "ex-gay" counselor, explicit mockery of gender roles, an epic rescue, and a victorious queer love story. Autostraddle agrees.
